September 19.
We returned from a visit to Yorkshire. On Monday we went to Leeds and were received by Dr. Clifford Allbut, 812 with whom we stayed till the middle of the day on Wednesday. Then we went by train to Ilkley, and from thence took a carriage to Bolton. The weather had been grey for two days but on this evening the sun shone out and we had a delightful stroll before dinner, getting our first view of the Priory. On Thursday, we spent the whole day in rambling through the woods to Barden Tower and back. Our comfortable little inn was the Red Lion, and we were tempted to lengthen our stay.
But on Friday morning the sky was threatening, so we started for Newark, which we had visited in old days on our expedition to Gainsborough. At Newark we found our old inn, the Ram, opposite the ruins of the Castle, and then we went for a stroll along the banks of the Trent, seeing some charming quiet pictures -- Frith landscapes. This morning we walked again for an hour and then prepared to start by the train to Peterborough where we paused again and had a second view of the Cathedral. Then back to the train among a crush of market people, and so home to dinner at 'bd past six.
